Light in the Himalayas

Bless you, Honeywell Turbojet

Honeywell is our lovely new fan that comes with a whopping dose of TURBO FORCE POWER, and is the only thing keeping us hard at work this week, because GAAAAAD DAMN, its hot!

I said GAD DAMN!

When it’s hot and you’re inside at a computer all day, editing footage…there’s a sickness that slowly creeps its way into your brain. First you start fidgeting, then you take breaks more often than you’re supposed to, find yourself eventually running through and endless slough of Youtube videos that have no relevance to what you’re doing, and then BAM!

WHAT?

You run out the door, down the street, dive in the car (which is a uniquely smothering, humidifyingly back-scorching experience), drive your ass to Madison beach, run screaming down the dock and throw yourself violently into the water.

That’s right, you have it.

You’ve got cabin fever. And by gum, there isn’t a pill in the world that’ll save your sorry ass like having a good soak in the slightly gasoline-perfumed water of Lake Washington while being terrorized by Milfoil.

And if you don’t know what Milfoil is, you’ve never been in Lake Washington. Here’s a little taste in case you were wondering:

AACK!

But for sure, it’s well worth the risk to clear your head and get your brain to a more sane temperature. I highly recommend it. For now, however, it’s Honeywell all the way, and we’re working away…until the next attack…

PROOF:

Proof, that’s right. Proof that we are actually making progress, that Issara hasn’t gone on a random garage sale hiatus to Mexico for two weeks, nor has Yaque OD’d on mac and cheese, resulting in hospitalization. We are still mostly in the process of transcribing an organizing footage, but Yaque has put together the first edition of the opening scenes of the film:

Trailer

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the FIRST EVER trailer of Light in the Himalayas! This is a one time opportunity to experience never-before-seen footage! (Unless of course, you’ve already seen it on Youtube!). Without further jibber jabber, here is the Light in the Himalayas Trailer, version 1.0:

Hard at Work

This is Yaque in between snacks. This happens for approximately 15 minutes daily, during which most of our progress is made. He can currently still fit in his chair, although the sustainability of that situation into the future is highly questionable. Issara is currently being a bum and NOT BEING HERE TO WORK.

We’re down in the film lab…we’re workin in shifttttttts, bro.

Yaque: 10am – 11pm

Issara: 6pm – 11pm

-Hi, my name is Maddie. I help out.

Hello world!
